Limericks, Illustrated!

Photographers are (or want to be regarded as) Artists, and artists usually tend to create in more than one field of expression. So let's connect our visual artistry to poetry. Create a LIMERICK - and use one of your pictures to illustrate it. Or do this the other way 'round, if it is easier for you.
